Buying a Residential Agent: Real Home IP Resources

What's the point of Real Home IP anyway?

Recently, a number of friends asked me to residential agent, said that now the IP of the computer room to engage in data collection is always blocked by the site. To put it bluntly, the website has learned to be more sophisticated, and when they see the IP of the computer room, they will pull black directly as if they see a wanted criminal. At this time, the real home IP is like a cloak of invisibility, can make your operation completely melt in the ordinary users.

To give a real example: an e-commerce friends want to monitor the price of competing changes, with the ordinary agent just climb two days on the blocked IP. change ipipgo's residential agent, three consecutive weeks of stable collection, the site simply can not distinguish between real people visit or machine operation.

import requests
proxies = {
    'http': 'http://username:password@gateway.ipipgo.io:3000',
    'https': 'http://username:password@gateway.ipipgo.io:3000'
}
response = requests.get('destination URL', proxies=proxies)

Choose a residential agent by looking at these 3 hits

First look at IP purityThe most important thing to remember is that the IPs of ipipgo are actually dug out from the home broadband, and each IP carries the real broadband account information.

Second look at geographic coverageThe localization business is afraid that the agent nodes are incomplete. For example, if you want to collect information about merchants in a third-tier city, but there is no IP in this area in the proxy pool, then you will be blind. This point ipipgo covers 280+ cities across the country, even county-level cities can find the corresponding IP.

Third look at session control: So many people don't realize that there are two models for residential agents:
1. Static session - one IP fixed for 8 hours
2. Dynamic rotation - new IP for each request
It's safer to use dynamic mode for crawlers, and static mode for account raising.

A practical guide to avoiding the pit

Recently, I encountered a typical problem when deploying a crawler for a client: even though I used a residential proxy, I was still recognized by the target website. Later, we found that the browser fingerprint was exposed. Here we teach you two tricks:

1. Randomly switch the User-Agent in the crawler, don't always use the same one.
2. Work with the fingerprint disguise service provided by ipipgo to automatically generate real device information

I'm sure you want to ask these.

Q: Will residential agents be expensive?
A: ipipgo is billed on a per-use basis, and new users get a 5G traffic pack. Compared to the risk of being blocked, this investment is really nothing.

Q: What should I do if my IP suddenly fails?
A: They have a smart switching function, monitoring the IP anomaly automatically cut the new node, the middle will not be disconnected.

Q: Can I specify a certain cell IP?

A: It depends on the specific needs, they business support customized regional IP packages, but you have to make an appointment in advance.
